Steve Brown, a professional web developer, has performed a detailed examination of CS-Cart architecture and expressed his thoughts in an article published in his personal blog.

In the post, Steve shares his opinions on various aspects of the software: technology, built-in features, integrated systems, and shares his experience as a programmer. We encourage you to familiarize with it and leave your thoughts in comments.

The new release of CS-Cart includes significant security enhancements, support of the PayPal 3D Secure technology and a new free skin.

Extra security measures were applied to administrator accounts. Now there is a requirement for a periodical password change, and the new password always has to be different from the old one (up to four previous passwords are stored for comparison). More strict requirements for the password complexity were also added (for example, now there is a minimal length for it and a requirement to contain both letters and numbers). This allows store administrators to achieve the maximum protection of back-end access.
